Chapter 144: From Hogwarts to Hogsmeade
The path behind the statue was like a stone slide, and Hermione was a little glad that she was wearing trousers instead of a skirt in December, otherwise it would have been hard to imagine sliding down on Ning'an.
She fell into a trance, and there would always be such a mess in her mind, and she couldn't hit the thought of reaching out and patting her face to wake herself up, but her feet suddenly touched the cold tide/shi's land.
"Are you alright?"
Ning An turned around, he came down a little earlier than Hermione, the two of them slid for a long time, it was dark all around, Hermione could still see Ning An's appearance clearly, he stretched out his hand and looked at himself, his black eyes were shining, before he knew Ning An, Hermione never thought that black pupils would be so charming.
She hesitated, for some time Hermione felt as if a day had passed, but it was probably less than a quarter of a second
"It's okay."
Brushing the hair around her ears, she almost trembled and put her hand in the palm of the other party's palm again, and the warmth came, and the two colliding hearts once again sensed each other's radio signals, which was the beating sound of hearts
"Bang, bang," once, twice, clearly and forcefully.
Neither of them spoke, because everything was silent, Ning An turned his head and looked at her gently, the darkness around him enveloped him, he didn't seem to have the meaning of lighting up, the atmosphere around her became charming, Hermione felt that she was about to lose her breath, and the "ticking" sound of water droplets sliding down the passage in the distance, one sound, fit her heart, and was about to jump out of her chest.
"Fluorescent flicker!"
She shouted in a panic, and then a glimmer of light from her wand illuminated the narrow, low passageway, and the darkness quickly receded, and with it the atmosphere that Hermione almost stopped breathing.
"Whew-" She let out a long breath, Ning An didn't seem to notice her rollercoaster mood, still holding on to that hand, and as Hermione lit up her surroundings, he also sighed and looked around as if it was the first time she had been here.
"Let's go."
He chuckled back and tugged at Hermione's snow-white fingers, and the girl woke up from a big dream, sensing the temperature in her palm, and carefully followed him through the narrow passage that twisted like a rabbit had dug out.
"Be careful, it's easy to trip here."
Ning An walked in front, reminding carefully, the subtle atmosphere was different from just now, as if something had been provoked, and there seemed to be a gentle ambiguity fermenting in the air, which made people extremely cautious, for fear of disturbing it.
Different from the previous free talk, the two of them were in the narrow road, and they talked pitifully, basically Ning An was talking, and Hermione just followed honestly, saying "um" and "ah" from time to time to express her approval.
Only the two hands, always held tightly together, from a palm-to-palm posture, gradually, into a ten-finger ring buckle.
Hermione struggled weakly, but this resistance was almost none, she could only let Ning An pry open the fingers, and then separate them between each of her fingers, her face was already as red as the sunset, and she deliberately sent her wand forward, on the one hand, to illuminate the path under Ning An's feet, and on the other hand, to keep the light source away from her, she didn't want Ning An to see this appearance.
Oh my God, Hermione? Granger, what's wrong with you, how can you be easily held like this little villain, I ...... I'm not saying I don't like that......
It's just that it can't be so easy to let him ...... like this This will give him the illusion...... What delusion...... I actually like to be led like this......
Oh my God, Granger, what's wrong with you.
Hermione would have loved to cover her face with an extra hand, she couldn't think about it any longer, and that was a question that was even more difficult for her than when she had walked through the magic fire that Snape had set up.
She didn't dare to think about it, and when she thought about it, she would fall into it, and then countless ifs, maybes, or all would come flooding in, and that would make her brain explode.
"This passage leads to Duke Honey, I think that's the one ahead."
Ning An looked back at Hermione with a smile and said softly.
"Hmm...... Ah......h
Hermione lowered her head, her eyes seemed to be attracted by the cold and wet earth, in fact, she just couldn't focus without focusing, the whole person seemed to be drunk, if she wasn't led by Ning An, she would probably lie down on the side, but the reason why this happened was maybe because her hand was pulled.
She had even forgotten that Harry had told her about the secret passage more than a year ago, and her head had turned into a pulp.
At this time, on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in the corridor where the one-eyed witch statue was located, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, her high heels on her feet, "stepping" in the corridor to make a lonely echo, the crocodile leather handbag was easily carried in the hand, and the bright red nail polish was reflected by the moonlight.
The woman stopped beside Laurel, who had fallen unconscious, her wand drooping slightly, and she raised her hand to push up the jewel-encrusted frame, her lips painted in a strange arc.
"The master told me to deal with you—"
Rita? Skeeter tilted her head, she naturally saw Ning An's gesture before leaving, and let herself deal with Laurel, but how to deal with it, Ning An didn't say, probably just let her forget what happened tonight.
"Recover quickly."
Rita thought for a while, pointed her wand at Laurel, and there was a "bang" in the corridor, and the girl slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of confusion and emptiness, as if she was still remembering what had happened, but before that, a wand had reached the center of her eyebrows, and before Laurel screamed, Rita? Skeeter shouted:
"Forget it!"
Suddenly, Laurel's eyes began to drift, her brows loosened, and her face showed a trance-like and indifferent to everything, which is the situation when a person's memory is changed.
"You came to the library alone tonight, read some books, and then went back to sleep, right?"
Lotelle nodded silently and began to move slowly, step by step, like a zombie, towards the staircase leading to the lower level, at first slowly, but then gradually returning to normal speed, disappearing into the armor corridor.
"Hmph"
Rita? Skeeter snorted, seemed to be in a good mood, pinned his wand back to his waist, flicked his crocodile leather handbag, raised his chin upwards, and walked in the other direction with a dance step, humming a song, and slowly disappeared into the corridor on the fourth floor.
The moonlight silently washed every piece of armor and every marble tile in the corridor, unchanged for thousands of years, and finally returned to tranquility after a noisy drama, but a slight "click" broke the silence that had just returned.
A dark shadow emerged from behind the armor near the back of the hallway, and she reached out and tugged at her long pale blonde hair, as if she had been squatting for too long and had been covered with a lot of dust.
"Ning'an? How did he end up at Hogwarts - that girl was Hermione? Granger? It seems to be a Gryffindor student...... Why did you mess around with him? ”
Shaking her head, a pair of turnip earrings ticking from side to side, she tilted her head to look at the moonlight, and continued to mumble to herself
"Anyway, Hogsmeade? Seems interesting, let me think—"
She paced down the hallway, holding the wand behind her ear, and within a few meters she was behind the statue of the One-Eyed Witch, staring at the sculpture fixedly, with large silver-gray eyes, dim as moonlight.
"I remember it was—left and right separation!"
The statue's hunchback parted, and the girl clapped her hands and said, "Hey, it's done!" ”
She looked into the narrow dark hole and forgot for a moment, and said to herself thoughtfully:
"What if there's a hook in there—"
So he retracted his head again, and gently touched his chin with his left hand, muttering like a philosopher
"But those two people are funny, well, there shouldn't be mistletoe in such a narrow hole."
As if she had finally made up her mind, she crawled into the cave, and after a moment the statue of the one-eyed witch slowly dragged and closed again, and the corridor was finally silent this time, and there was no more sound.
*******************************************************
"Come, give me your hand, are you tired?"
Ning An quickly climbed up the broken stone steps, he didn't count whether it was the hundredth or the second hundredth, he only remembered that he had indeed climbed a long, long way, and Hermione behind him had always looked a little confused and absent-minded, Ning An was really afraid that she would accidentally fall down the stairs.
Hermione naturally stretched out her hand, and then felt the warmth in her palm again, this action has been repeated thousands of times, and when the two of them walked out of the passage, they encountered a stone staircase that extended upward, and Ning An would turn around and pull herself every few steps, although it was not that she couldn't walk, but she didn't refuse.
This action has been repeated thousands of times, and now it seems to have become an instinctive reaction to hand it over to the other person to hold.
"Ah, here we are—"
Ning An pushed the hard thing he almost hit above his head, it was a floor door, he made a "shhh
"Crunch—"
The door was lifted up a crack, Ning An looked out from the crack, Hermione followed him, her heart beat faster and faster, she was really crazy, not only on Christmas night, she followed Ning An to sneak out of Hogwarts through the secret passage, but also sneaked into Duke Honey like a thief.
This was almost inconceivable for Hermione, who had always followed the school rules as the highest code of conduct, but she did just that, and what made her tremble even more was that there was a faint feeling of joy in her heart at the moment, as if she liked it very much.
Are you crazy, Hermione? Granger, sighed inwardly, Hermione thought silently.
"Let's go, be careful, let's go up."
Ning An pushed the floor door open very slowly, and then crawled out, and it didn't take long for Hermione to see the familiar hand stretched out, and the man's smiling face.
She sighed, feeling that she had suddenly become helpless with him, so she obediently reached out and was pulled, and then went to a dimly lit cellar.
Ning An was gently closing the door, it was so integrated with the dusty floor that there was no way to see that there was such a door on the ground.
The two of them slowly got up and climbed up the wooden staircase to the upper floor, listening intently, but there was no sound, as if there were only the two of them here.
"Aha, look, what is this-"
Ning An pulled Hermione, her fingers clasped, and slipped out of the door at the top of the stairs, and they came to the back of Duke Honey's counter, where there were also large pieces of creamy peanut candy, a large bucket of flavored beans, and nourishing bee candy.
Bypassing the counter and coming to the center of Duke Honey, Ning An grabbed a red lollipop, the sign on it said "unusual taste" He leaned close to his nose and sniffed it, the thick bloody gas came to his face, choking him almost without coughing.
He turned his head and brought the lollipop closer to Hermione's mouth, and said with a mischievous grin:
"Would you like to try it?"
"Ning'an!"
Hermione looked angry and shouted sharply, "Put it back-"
"Come on, take a bite—haha—"
He laughed and leaned over the lollipop, Hermione turned her head to dodge, but because he was holding her hand, she involuntarily leaned towards Ning An
"You...... You let me go...... Take...... You...... You bastard......"
She was angry and struggled hard, but Ning An didn't let go, and the two of them writhed in front of Duke Honey's door
"Hey, hey, don't worry, just kidding, just kidding-"
Chuckling and letting go of his hand, Ning An got up from the ground, he grabbed Hermione and rolled several times just now, got up and patted the dust on his robe, and put the bloody lollipop back into the tray.
Hermione was still sitting on the ground, looking at Ning An through gritted teeth, as if she wanted to eat him, the hazy look just now seemed to have disappeared, and after a careful look left and right, she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and said:
"I should have cast a curse on you just now."
"I should have tickled you just now." Ning An looked at her and responded with a smile.
"You ——!"
She was flushed and looked like an apple, I don't know if she was angry, or ashamed, or maybe it was freezing.
"Come on, let's go to the village and have some fun, look, there seem to be a lot of shops open for Christmas, you look at the light outside."
Ning An gently pushed down the door, the door was locked on the inside, and it couldn't be opened from the outside, but it opened as soon as he pushed it from the inside, he turned around, took Hermione's hand, and gently pulled her up from the ground
"Let's go—"
The girl's face still looked embarrassed, but her body involuntarily followed Ning An to the door.
"Crunch."
The streets are covered with snow, and the sound of feet stepping on the snow makes a pleasant sound.
"Let's have a snowball fight!"
As if it had come up with a ghost idea out of nowhere, Ning An stared at Hermione with a mischievous smile on her face, as if she was watching some interesting TV show.
"Don't!"
Hermione frowned, about to refuse.
"Smack"
A small snowball hit his face, and Ning An's "giggle" laughter came from his ears.
"You forced me, Ning An!"
"Hmph, there's a kind of coming, uh, look at the trick-"
"Smack" is another snowball.
"Ning'an...... Don't run! ”
"Come on, come and get me, haha-"
Snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers, and the small streets of Hogsmeade were filled with the sound of a man and a woman laughing like bells.
